But just after the hour mark, American midfielder Holmes caught the eye when he flicked the ball over a series of opposing defenders en route to goal, before Peacock-Farrell leapt to pluck the ball from the air before the 24-year-old could advance any further.

In the process of doing so, the stopper appeared to force Holmes away from the ball with his studs, though referee Andy Davies - who was stood just a matter of yards away - felt no foul had been committed.
